by special grace and favour [allowed], and now also by this open letter confirm, that Lauritz Benedicht and no other person may freely and unhindered print all books in Latin, Danish and German that shall be printed and published in these realms. He shall not, however, publish any book, large or small, in Latin, Danish, or German, poetry or prose, satire or any other text, before the whole university, or the largest group that best understands the subject, has considered and approved it; and if it [the text] is in praise of God, for the preservation of the faith, and for the good of the kingdom, it shall be approved. If any man should try to compel him to print anything, saying that he would try it [= get approval], he shall not be allowed to do so without the prior consent of the University; he shall not take the liberty of printing anything without the prior consent of the University. And whatever copies he may have printed, large or small, no person shall be allowed to reprint them within these realms, and if a person should reprint any of the books he has previously printed, they shall not be imported, sold, or distributed in any way within these realms, while, or from the time when, the same books are available for sale
